ADVERTISING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 2s, 1905. Serial No. 266,620.

To (all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that we, FREDERICK JOHN WALTON and LoNeINUs VIVIAN Roenns, subjects of the King of Great Britain, residing at Finchley, in the county of Middlesex, England, have invented a new and useful In 1- provement in Advertising Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in and connected with advertising, and has for its object the combination, with a time-table arranged to be automaticallychanged at certain periods in the manner described in a further patent application, of advertisements arranged to surround the automatic timetable, some of which advertisements are stationary and others of which are designed to move at intervals, so as to be alternately displayed and withdrawn.

In order that our invention may be more readily understood and carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheets of illustrative drawings, Wherein Figure 1 is an outside front elevational View of the complete apparatus. Fig. 2 is a front elevational view with the front removed to more clearly show the working parts of the apparatus. Fig. 3 is a front elevational view of the mechanism for causing and regulating the movement of the advertisements, while Fig. 4 is a side elev ational view thereof.

Referring to the drawings, wherein like letters and figures of reference indicate corre sponding parts wherever occurring, a, Fig. 1, represents the central space behind which the time-table is displayed. t represents permanent advertisement-spaces. 0 represents oriices through which moving advertisements are alternately displayed.

The space (Z may conveniently be arranged for the display of weekly announcements, while 0 may be occupied by a complete time table.

With reference to the mechanism for moving the advertisements we arrange upon either side of the machine a moving frame 1, which each carries siX advertisements for alternately displaying through the three oricorrespondingly elevate the other. In connection with one of these frames 1 we arrange an independent clockwork mechanism 5, upon the spindle 6 of which a lever 7 is keyed. A connecting-rod 8 is pivoted at one end to one end of the lever 7 and at the other end to the upper end of one of the frames 1.

Arranged in connection with the clockwork mechanism we mount a retarding-disk 9, provided with. radial projecting plates 10, and we arrange projections or rollers 11 and 12 on the ends of the lever 7. These pins contact with the radial projecting plates alternately, and the needle 7 is held approximately stationary until the retarding-disk has been turned sufficiently to allow the projectionsay 1 1-to slip away fromthe particular radial projecting plate 10 which hitherto had obstructed it. The lever 7 will then revolve one-half a revolution until the projection 12 on the other end of said needle 7 contacts with another of the radial projecting plates 10 on the retarding-disk 9.

The needle 7 every time it revolves its half-revolution will through the medium of the connecting-rod 8 cause one of the frames 1 to be moved down and the other to be correspondingly moved up for the purpose of alternately displaying the six advertisements carried by each frame through the three orifices 0, provided for the purpose.

The disk 9 may be retarded in any suitable manner'such, for instance, as the gearing 13.

What we claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent in the United States, is-

1. In advertising apparatus the combination with a framework having display-orifices of advertisement-carrying boards, of a chain connection between said boards, pulleys over which such chain connection runs, a centrallyjournaled. clockwork, operated lever, a connecting-rod pivoted at one end to one of the advertisement-carrying boards and at the other end to one end of the centrally-journaled clockwork-operated lever, and means for retarding and releasing said lever atpredetermined intervals, substantially as specified.

2. In advertising apparatus the combination with a frameworkhaving display-orifices of advertisement-carrying boards, of a chain connection between said boards, pulleys over which such chain connection runs, a centrallyjournaled clockwork-operated lever, a conneoting-rod pivoted at one end to one of the advertisement-carrying boards and at the names to the foregoing specification in the otille erlid 120 mile end ofdtllie centrally-jourpresence of two subscribing Witnesses.

na e 0 0c wor (-0 erate ever, projections carried upon the er ids of'said lever, a retardingdisk, radial plates carried by said disk J against which the projections on theends of Witnesses:

the clockwork-operated lever operate, sub- H. D. JAMEsoN,

stantially as specified. A. NUTTING.
